Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is the report (athar) from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab to be understood, when he purchased Dar al-Nadwah for his governor of Makkah to make it a prison, and said, "If 'Umar is pleased"?
Answer:
He asks how the report from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab is to be understood, when he purchased Dar al-Nadwah for his governor of Makkah? This is a condition of the option to cancel (khiyar); it is not a suspension of the sale. The sale was not suspended; the sale was finalized and concluded, with offer and acceptance. However, the condition of the option is based on 'Umar's pleasure or lack thereof. This is a condition of the option, not a suspension. Yes.
